A set of masks for the late Curtiss P-40N in 1:32 scale. It masks the sliding canopy from both faces and adds four national insignia shapes.
Responsibility details are not available.
The P-40N was the lightest and fastest of the whole Warhawk family. It came about by taking weight away, not by adding power: some of the armament went, armor plates went, the tank changed. The significant change, though, took place behind the pilot. A cut-down fuselage decking and new glazing behind the seat opened up the view to the rear, which had always been this type's weakest point.
The cockpit of the Warhawk is narrow and deep, so on the older versions you could see inside only from above. The cut-down decking changed that. On the late form the side walls of the tub, the rear bulkhead and the frame behind the headrest come into the field of view and an unfinished interior cannot be hidden. All the more important, then, that the framing has the right shade from the inside and does not shout with glossy plastic whenever light falls on the model from the side.
Two canopy masks for both faces of the glazing and four national insignia motifs are stated. The number of insignia is higher than usual and matches the fact that American machines carried the star on both wings and on both sides of the fuselage.
The best time to take the shapes off is shortly after the last coat has dried, not days later. A fresh layer separates crisply along the edge, whereas a fully cured finish clings to the mask and comes away with it in flakes that are then hard to repair on a large model.
